    I, personally, could care less.

    People will say how it taints their titles and everything until the full list is revealed and we find out that every team had a handful scattered.

    I never understood the big craze.

    Roids weren't in baseballs "no-no" list in the 1990s. If millions of dollars are on the line, I'd probably bend rules, too.

    funny how the initial report had no red sox players. seems there was some truth to this conspiracy theory.

    also, big papi is another on a long list of high profile players but this somehow taints the sox run for me for some reason.


    i guess its because ortiz was one of the more likable, seemingly honest guys out there.



    yet now this moron says, 'I'm surprised to learn I tested positive.'

    wtf. did the steroid fairy sneak in and inject his fat ass or something.

    the whole league was tainted. When are they just going to release the whole list so this **** can die.

    Big Papi is the saddest story yet.

    He had us believing he was innocent, even proclaimed that stiffer penalties needed to be handed out for PED users, like a full season perhaps was in the offing.

    Now he is trying to act innocent still and have us believe he is surprised to find out.

    What a buffoon.

    Sad. Really sad.

    Not that this means jack, but the '03 testing was supposed to be an anonymous sampling survey to determine how widespread PED use was. That being the case, why did they even take names?

    I agree, not much of that makes sense.

    You couldn't penalize them for it. You couldn't hold it against them later on if they tested positive when the rules were finally put into effect.

    Why were there even documents on the matter if it didn't matter?
